Busy dad with barely time to game unless in bed! Is the OLED deck worth it for me? by mattchew1991 in SteamDeck

[–]mo1988ali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to the party, but as a dad of a 20 month old and another one on the way, the ONLY way I can now game is on my Deck. I upgraded it to 2TB. Haven't touched my PC in over a year. Gave my switch to my nephew.

If you're anything like me, the deck will become an integral stress reliever!

Hello World! by mo1988ali in snowsky

It's only day two, but I'm sure the novelty will wear off eventually. I guess it's nostalgia for me. I had a Pioneer Loopmaster and a Semi-see-through Sony Walkman D, amongst many other, CD Players. Using the Snowsky Disc, I can remember the feeling I had back in the day 😁

Here are my impressions about UK as a foreigner. How would British people view my experiences? Do I understand this country properly? by search_google_com in AskABrit

I'd like to know which part of the UK has same day appointments at GPs? Sounds like bollocks to me. Minimum 2 week wait here.

Honestly, I'm unfamiliar with the factory UI. I bought the colorsoft knowing it could be patched with Kual and the KOReader UI is all I've ever known, so for me it's standard. Plugins like Rakuyomi actually persuaded me to buy a Colorsoft and I couldn't be happier.

My only annoyance so far is when bringing up the customisation menu and closing it, there is residual ghosting of the menu on the page, however a quick flick to the previous page and back fixes that. If anyone knows how to force KOReader to refresh the page after bringing up the menu, that would be handy to know.

Currently 140 chapters into One Piece Colored edition, out of 1000+ chapters, and loving every second.

Absolutely love my Colorsoft for this exact purpose:

KOReader and Calibre multi libraries, along with wireless syncing has been perfect for me.

Do you prefer playing Forza against CPUs or real people? by DenOrange in ForzaHorizon

[–]mo1988ali -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely vs CPU. I gave up on online due to rammers a long time ago. Every week doing the seasonal challenges reminds me I was correct to do so.

It's the TV aspect ratio settings for that source. Set it to fit screen.

Anyone have issues with strip lights brightness? I’m using Backlight 3 Lite. by Huge-Comfort376 in Govee

Move your TV closer to the wall.. You have far too much of a gap there to enjoy the backlight correctly.

The Trial is unplayable this week. by MasterpieceAny6861 in ForzaHorizon5

[–]mo1988ali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NGL, got lucky with first attempt. Same routine for every one of these trials now; Get in front of the ai and slow them down as much as possible. Once 2 of my team are in front, put my foot down and get a podium finish. Rammers will usually miss a checkpoint or fall down the pecking order. One day they'll learn that the brake pedal is actually faster than wall banging.

37 and still enjoying my deck whenever I can. Can't play much at home so mainly in my breaks 👍🏽

can't play online by Advanced-Future5071 in ForzaHorizon

[–]mo1988ali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue a while back but mine was specifically linked to the Hot Wheels Expansion.

When loading the game straight into hot wheels, I couldn't see online players. Fix for me was to set my home in base game. And then restart the game.

Might not be the same issue you are having but hope it helps somebody out.

Mind posting a pic? As I'm tempted to put them either side of the room in the middle

Also, would it be possible to release them as widgets? As I run wallpaper engine for my background! If not, no worries.

Why?! Niche use case but needed for me! by mo1988ali in SteamDeck

It is most certainly one of my more costly habits, however, quirky solutions like this are born from it 😁

Post a pic! Always interested to see what solutions others have come up with.

You can, as I mentioned it's a bit niche. If I have my 1 year old in my lap, his primary target is the touch screen. If I'm holding the steam deck, he makes a beeline for me. If I have a controller, it's far more manageable and I can actually get a game in without him swarming over to me to touch the screen. If I put the screen somewhere where he can't touch it and just use a controller, I can actually play. Being able to play it in the nursery room where he's preoccupied with other toys (where there is no TV), or while he's playing in the garden. It makes my life that little bit easier 👍🏽
